According to BT Sport, that’s the first time in five years United haven’t had a shot on target in a domestic fixture. Thin gruel for Paul Doyle, who was our man at Molineux. Here’s his report. Click, enjoy ... and thanks for reading this MBM!

Ole talks! “It is always a grind when you come to Molineux. Good team, strong team, physical. I thought we dominated the first half but they took over in the second. It was an even game, and a draw was a fair result. We didn’t create too many chances in the first but we controlled it. In the second half we had two decent chances. I thought Chong was fantastic, I am very pleased with him. We were close to taking Maguire off but he battled through. I’d rather have a replay and still be in the FA Cup.”

Nuno speaks. “It was tough. We had quality in some moments. It’s not easy to play football. But we played better in the second half. There were not very many spaces. We controlled better in the second half. We wanted to solve the situation today, because we have a very tight schedule. But we want to play. We have a week to recover well.”

Just like last year, Paul Doyle was at Molineux as Wolves and United went at each other in the cup. Here’s his report.

Victor Lindelof was given the man of the match award. “It was a tough game,” he tells BT Sport. “There has been a lot of games during this period, and we changed a few players. But the young players showed great character. In the first half we controlled the game. Obviously we want to score goals, but they were a tough opponent.”

90 min +6: Unreserved apologies for the fate-tempting entry on 9 min.

90 min +5: Dalot has another go, this time from the best part of 30 yards. He hits Greenwood and the ball deflects harmlessly out for a goal kick.

90 min +4: Moutinho is booked for a wrestling move on Fred. The free kick’s hooked into the box, causing Wolves mild panic. The ball drops to Dalot, in space to the right of the six-yard box. He spins and welts a shot deep into the crowd. What a waste.

90 min +3: Greenwood is in space in the middle, with plenty of turf in front of him. But Pereira’s long ball forward is no good.

90 min +2: Traore glides down the right and crosses hard and low. Lindelof does very well to hook clear with Jimenez lurking.

90 min +1: Jonny rolls the ball towards Neto out on the left. Neto lets the ball roll under his boot. Throw. Young takes an age, and earns a lecture from the ref. He’s already on a booking, so is really testing the official’s patience.

90 min: All very hectic as time marches on. Everyone desperate to avoid last-gasp heartbreak. But there will be six added minutes. So plenty of time for drama yet.

88 min: Neto wastes a good opportunity out on the left by blootering the ball out for a goal kick. He had options in the middle.

87 min: Maguire goes on an upfield sortie. He loses the ball and is out of position as Neto threatens to latch onto a long pass up the other end. Young does extremely well to get his body in the way and win a cheap free kick. Danger over.

86 min: Young is booked for a cynical tug on the back of Neto. The clock ticks on. Can anyone find the killer punch?

85 min: United are so close to taking Wolves back to Old Trafford. Romero goes through the motions over a goal kick. Carefully, slowly. Perfect game management, and Wolves are accordingly irritated. They have to suck it up.

83 min: Rashford and Pereira combine at speed down the inside-left channel. Just as it looks as though Rashford is going to burst clear in the box, Neves slides in and gets a toe to the ball. Rashford goes over and demands a penalty with some feeling, but he’s not getting one.

82 min: Chong can’t continue. Dalot comes on in his stead. Moutinho has a belt from 25 yards out on the left. It sails harmlessly wide right.

81 min: Jimenez jigs his way down the right and enters the box. He smashes a shot from a ridiculous angle, as tight as it comes, slicing the ball onto the near post, Romero beaten all ends up. That battered the woodwork, it’s a wonder the frame is still standing.

80 min: From a standing start, Traore whizzes past Williams down the right in the Olympic style. His cross nearly confuses Romero at the near post, but the ball flies away from danger. Wolves have turned it up a notch or two.

78 min: No complaints from Wolves, although the crowd are giving it the big one about VAR. Then Jonny sends a shot whistling past the left-hand post from the left-hand corner of the D. He’s made an instant impression on this match.

77 min: Jimenez whirls down the left, reaches the byline, and executes a pointless rabona, with nobody in the middle to convert. Wolves come again, Jonny crossing from the same flank, Doherty heading into the top right. But he doesn’t celebrate, knowing full well the ball had come off his arm before flying in. He’ll be sick that he’s miscued that header; it was a great chance to score.

75 min: The free kick is a non-event. Jonny replaces Vinagre. And Chong is determined to keep going. He’s back on.

74 min: Chong looks in some pain. He’s blowing hard as he receives treatment. He eventually gets up and walks off the pitch. Can he continue? A rueful shake of the head suggests maybe not.

73 min: Chong knocks the ball down the right touchline. He’s away, but Kilman slides in late. Kilman tries to pull out of the challenge, but he’s zipping across the turf at speed, and catches poor Chong on the shin. That’s one of the clearest bookings you’ll see.

72 min: Wolves respond to the double change by sending Joao Moutinho on for Saiss.

70 min: Within 27 seconds of coming on, Rashford hits the crossbar! Greenwood slips him clear with a clever slide-rule pass down the inside-left channel. He shoots. The ball loops off the sliding Coady’s boot, sailing over the stranded Ruddy. It’s heading towards the top right ... but doesn’t quite drop. It pings off the woodwork, and away from danger. What an introduction that would have been!

69 min: United make two changes. Mata and James make way for Fred and Marcus Rashford.

67 min: Greenwood has been quiet, but springs to life as he sashays in from the right and looks for the top right from 30 yards. It’s overly ambitious, and clears the bar by many miles. Still, if you don’t buy a ticket, etc.

66 min: Vinagre brings down Young, out near the right-hand corner flag. A free kick that Mata takes. It’s hoicked towards Maguire, who doesn’t get any significant purchase on his header from six yards. The ball sails wide left to Matic, who trundles it out of play to relieve the pressure on the hosts.

64 min: Traore runs around on the right in a rococo style. He eventually carves out space to cross; his effort is eyebrowed to the far post by Maguire, giving Vinagre the opportunity to lash wildly into the crowd from a tight angle. A half-chance, that.

62 min: Chong suddenly turns on the jets and makes good down the right. His low cross looks dangerous; with black shirts lurking, Coady does extremely well to spin and slap the ball clear.

60 min: Farcical scenes in the United defence as Maguire plays a pass across the face of his own goal, and Romero slices it out for a corner as he tries to send it back to the defender. The resulting set piece is a non-event, but United betrayed their continuing uncertainty at the back there.

58 min: It was dangerous all right! Ruddy goes to his left, assuming Mata was going to whip the free kick over the wall towards the top right. Instead, Mata goes left, and his effort flies millimetres wide of the top-left corner, Ruddy utterly deceived, out of the game completely. That would have been a very cheeky one. United so close to taking the lead.

57 min: Saiss goes in the book for a preposterous sliding challenge on Chong, who was making good down the right. Vinagre was still on point; it was a needless challenge. And now this is a free kick just to the right of the D. Ruddy waves his arms around in the wall-arranging, agitated fashion. This is a dangerous one.

56 min: Neves departs, but after a final check, he’s back on quickly enough. The second half begins again.

55 min: That’s a proper sore one for Neves, who is flat on his back, the physios going the extra mile to make sure he’s not concussed. Meanwhile on the United bench, Phil Jones performs a few stretches, maybe with a view to replacing Harry Maguire. Time will tell.

53 min: Neves is down having been clumped upside the head, Lindelof accidentally nutting him from behind. A pause as he gets some treatment.

51 min: Lindelof fires a long pass down the middle that very nearly releases James. Wolves go up the other end and test Romero’s fitness, Neto striding into space down the inside-left channel and battering a low shot straight at the keeper. Romero parries well. He passes the test.

50 min: Another injury worry for United, as Romero goes down clutching his left leg. A hamstring injury? Perhaps not, as the physio gives the bench the internationally recognised signal for Don’t Panic. Cramp as opposed to a hamstring issue, maybe ... but he is clutching the back of his leg and grimacing quite a lot. He continues, anyway.

48 min: Traore and Doherty combine well down the right again. Doherty is the one zipping towards the byline this time; his cross towards the near post is dealt with by Lindelof. The hosts appear to have taken it up a notch, their hairstyles perhaps nicely blow-dried during the break.

47 min: Traore chips the ball down the right wing for Doherty, who wins the first corner of the half. They play it short. Traore turns on the boosters and reaches the byline on the right. He whips a low ball towards Jimenez, but Chong is on hand to hack clear just in time.

Here we go again, then. Wolves kick off the second half. Raul Jimenez has taken the place of young Ashley-Seal, who was feeding on scraps in that first half to be fair. Harry Maguire hasn’t been replaced, though, so hopefully that hip isn’t giving him too much gyp.

Half-time entertainment. Details here of the biggest cup shock of the day. The FA Cup knocked into a cocked hat.

44 min: United come back yet again, and James is barged from behind by Doherty. It should be a free kick, just to the left of the Wolves box, but the ref isn’t interested. Wolves could do with hearing the half-time whistle; they’ve done very little up front since the 18-minute mark, United having dominated possession since then.

43 min: Young wins a corner off Vinagre down the right. Mata takes. Ruddy punches powerfully clear. But United come again, Pereira forcing Kilman into conceding another corner. Traore clears this one.

41 min: Maguire went over awkwardly in a challenge with Traore a few minutes ago. He’s now limping a little as a result, having apparently hurt his hip in the fall. Plenty of frowning going on, both on the field of play and in the United dugout. A decision to be made at half-time, perhaps, with the League Cup semi against Manchester City coming up on Tuesday.

39 min: Lindeof bustles his way down the left and earns a corner. He meets the set piece himself, but sends a directionless header deep into the stand behind the goal.

37 min: James dances into the Wolves box down the right and tries to thread one into the bottom left. He drags it across Ruddy and out for a goal kick. The Wolves keeper still hasn’t had much to do, though United have enjoyed the bulk of possession.

36 min: Chong feeds Young down the right. Young whips it in low. Doherty is hip to what’s going on and belts clear.

34 min: Traore wins a corner down the right. From the restart, Neves has a dig from 30 yards. Nope.

32 min: A VAR check for a penalty, after Dendoncker miscontrols in his own box and Williams falls over as he tries to skip off with the ball. There’s not a great deal of contact; certainly nothing clear and obvious enough to overrule the initial decision to wave play on. Though you’ve seen them given; one of those. The fans break into a chorus of the English folk standard Fuck VAR. Altogether now...

30 min: Doherty launches long down the middle. Traore turns Maguire with ease. Maguire falls to the floor, demanding a free kick he’s never going to get. Fortunately for United, Lindelof is on hand to get to the ball before Traore, and clears.

29 min: Chong probes down the right and cuts back for James on the edge of the D. James leans back and sends a shot sailing miles over the crossbar.

27 min: Neto bustles his way through a couple of half-arsed United challenges and reaches the byline on the left. He whips a wonderful cross through the United area, but none of his old-gold pals have kept up with play, and it’s an easy mop-up job for Williams.

26 min: United are beginning to dominate possession, and they’re spending increasing time in the Wolves half. Pereira has a whack from 25 yards; it’s high, wide and not so handsome. But United will be happy with the last ten minutes or so.

25 min: Pereira sends James skittering down the left at great speed. James whizzes into the box and rolls a cross through the six-yard box. But there’s nobody in a black shirt waiting to poke home. Coady is able to hook clear without too much fuss.

24 min: Greenwood tries to spark the game back into life with an ambitious shot from distance out on the left. It’s deflected, spinning high into the air, an easy gather for Ruddy under no pressure whatsoever.

22 min: More scrappiness. The 18 min entry really has done a number on this match.

20 min: So having said that, it suddenly goes scrappy for the first time. Pulitzer, please!

18 min: Vinagre gets on the end of a long ball down the inside left channel. He guides a weak shot straight at Romero from a tight angle. Then United go up the other end through Chong, who skips into the box from the right and very nearly works space to shoot. But one touch too many allows Kilman to nick the ball away and go over for a cheap free kick. This match is good end-to-end fun.

16 min: Saiss blasts a witless free kick straight into the United wall. United half clear. Wolves come back at them again, Vinagre attempting to flick the ball past Lindelof down the left. Wolves claim a hand ball, and a penalty, but neither ref nor VAR is interested, and it was outside the area anyway.

15 min: Traore burns his way down the inside-right channel. He’s got Maguire and Lindelof back-pedalling furiously. Maguire sticks out a leg to block. Saiss picks up the loose ball, and purchases a cheap free kick from Matic, coming in from behind in the clumsy style. This is a dangerous position, 30 yards out, just to the right of centre.

13 min: ... Wolves nearly score. They should score, in fact. The corner from the left is flicked on by Dendoncker to Doherty, who should slot home at the far post. But Romero sticks out a strong hand to deny the Wolves right-back. A sensational save, though Romero should never have been allowed to make it.

12 min: Pereira gives up the ball with absurd ease in the centre circle, allowing Neto to burst down the middle of the park. He lays off to Traore on his right. The winger earns a corner off Williams. Saiss rises highest to meet the corner, but his header’s deflected out out to the left for another corner. From which ...

10 min: Vinagre embarks on a fine dribble down the left, but Chong sticks to him well and the Wolves wing-back runs out of room. Vinagre strokes the ball out for a goal kick.

9 min: There is surely no way this match will end goalless. Both teams are full of attacking vim and vigour. The game’s very open, and everyone looks in the mood. The FA Cup, right here!

7 min: United take their turn to counter. James skedaddles down the left and wins a corner. They faff around at the set piece, but United work a second phase of play and Greenwood drops a shoulder down the inside-left channel, working space for a shot just inside the box. He leans back and skies his effort, but that was a crisp run. He’s a real prospect all right.

6 min: Ashley-Seal goes straight up the other end, a direct, no-nonsense run down the inside-left channel. He wins a corner off Maguire. The set piece is easily snaffled by Romero.

5 min: Pereira is clumsily bundled over by Neto, out on the United right. A chance to load the box. Pereira takes it himself, and it’s a ludicrous delivery, mishit and flat, and straight into Ashley-Seal’s coupon, ten yards away. That’s dismal, with the box teeming with scoring potential.

3 min: Doherty launches long from the left-back position. There’s an absurd amount of space between the United centre-backs, and Ashley-Seal nearly latches onto the ball. He’d have been able to zip clear towards goal. Fortunately for United, Romero was out to cover and clear. Fair to say this has been an open start.

2 min: James probes down the left and for a second threatens to burst into the box. Wolves hold their shape and the young winger is forced to turn tail. But this has been a fine front-foot start by United.

1 min: Nearly a sensational start for United, as Chong is afforded way too much space 40 yards from goal. He tries to slip James away down the middle, but his pass is no good. A better ball, and the hosts would have been a goal up within 3o seconds.

A quick burst of Hi Ho Wolverhampton ... anywhere you go now baby ... and we’re off! The visitors get the ball rolling. Molineux is bouncing. The third round of the FA Cup, right here.

The teams are out! One stunning stadium, two gorgeous kits. Wolves are in their famous old gold, while United have opted to wear their black change shirt, shades of Eric Cantona, Sharp Viewcam, all that. We’ll be off in a minute. One minute later than usual. Here’s the heads up ...

A reminder that there are some other ties being played this evening. The incomparable Rob Smyth will keep you up to date with Bournemouth-Luton, Fleetwood-Portsmouth, Leicester-Wigan and Manchester City-Port Vale. He’s been at Clockwatch since the break of dawn, too, pretty much. Rumours that he’s also powering the National Grid via some pedals under his desk have yet to be verified.

Then a cheery Ole Gunnar Solskjaer adds: “We have to learn from our Arsenal performance. We’ve had improvements in the games we have played against Wolves in the last ten months. It’s about performing, turning out. I know when we play to our best, we have the chance to beat anyone. Tahith Chong has been bright lately with the reserves and gets his chance. Anthony Martial is ill, so it’s a matter for Mason Greenwood to take his chance again.”

A relaxed Nuno Espirito Santo speaks to BT Sport. “We must play good, be organised, and compete. Benny Ashley-Seal is ready, I hope he competes well and enjoys the game. Man United are a fantastic team. They are such a huge club, you have to really go for it and compete well.”

Catharsis. Here’s what happened to Wolves after that quarter-final triumph, and how they eventually escaped from the slough of despond.

Bringing things a little more up to date ... this is a repeat of last year’s quarter final. Paul Doyle was on hand to witness that one, and here’s his memory-refreshing report.

En route to Molineux, you’ll see this. Memories of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ last FA Cup win. Bill Slater, there, lifting the famous old pot at the famous old Wembley in 1960, after a 3-0 win over injury-depleted Blackburn Rovers. Norman Deeley was Wolves’ two-goal hero in the second half that day. The first had been a nightmare for Rovers: the unfortunate Mick McGrath had opened the scoring by putting through his own net, then Dave Whelan broke his leg. No subs back then. It wasn’t much of a spectacle, and Wolves were pelted with apple cores, orange peel and screwed-up newspaper on their victory lap. Poor Wolves, who had just been pipped to the title by Burnley, getting no respect. The past, kids, another country.

Wolves make four changes to the XI sent out for the defeat at Watford on New Year’s Day. John Ruddy, Max Kilman, Ruben Vinagre, Ruben Neves and under-23 scoring sensation Benny Ashley-Seal take the places of Rui Patricio, Ryan Bennett, Jonny Otto, Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez.

United also ring the changes. Seven, they’ve made, with only Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Daniel James and Nemanja Matic keeping their places after the miserable 2-0 non-event at Arsenal. In come Sergio Romero, Ashley Young, Brandon Williams, Andreas Pereira, Tahith Chong, Juan Mata and Mason Greenwood, as David de Gea, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jesse Lingard, Fred, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford rest up.
